HDX 8000 and Microsoft Lync 2013 Video Problem

[Cperkins]

Hi,

We have a Polycom HDX 8000 with version 3.1.2 installed on it and are trying to use Microsoft Lync 2013 to conference in with the video features. We get an error message saying the video has failed and only the audio works. I've read on some of the other forums that we might need to have the RTV license installed, which we don't. I wanted to make sure that this is the only solution or if there is something else not working correctly.

Hi,

I purchased a HDX RTV/CCP License and I received the Serial Number for the license. Now I'm trying to figure out how to install the license and make it work.

Hello Cperkins,

on the HDX Web Interface browse to Admin Settings => General Settings => Options.

The Admin Guide from our Support home page should also cover this.

Best Regards

I entered the serial number in the Key box and the only information it shows is:

Enable Multipoint trial:  followed by a check box

The Key Box

Option: which says Enabled

Am I doing something wrong?

Hello Cperkins,

how is the number you have received is formatted ?

A key is usually blocks of 4 numbers / digits separated by a "-" 

Did you activate the license => here <=

I tried activating the key and got the following message:

Invalid Serial Number Entered. Please check to be sure that you are entering the correct serial number. For PVX software, the serial number is the same as your license number, which has the format of "XPVX-ABCD-ABCD", including the dashes.

My serial number starts with a K and is followed by four numbers, a dash, and three more sets of four numbers separated by dashes. Is there something that could be wrong with my serial number?

[Cperkins]

I have activated the serial number and I placed it in the Admin settings - Options but it still is not working. Is there someone that can help me out? I've reset the system and tried everything I can think of but to no avail.

I know this issue is from 2013 but looking for information on Lync 2013 I stumbled across it.

We ran into a similar experience with an HDX8000 in early 2013 - trying to license it for RTV when it was already enabled for MPplus 4port. We were not able to activate the RTV license with MPplus 4port already enabled. The two features literally couldn't exist at the same time exactly as you described. We tried a system reset and reinstalling the RTV key which did not work. We got a new keycode from our reseller for RTV only without MPplus 4port and confirmed the RTV license installed correctly  - and Lync 2010 displayed in full HD which was brilliant - but we needed to have the 4port software bridge to host calls on the HDX8000 and since the RTV codec could only do active speaker presence (Lync 2010) and we were hoping for continuous presence (Not sure if this works in Lync 2013 w/ RTV installed?) we ended up reverting back to a keycode that just had MPplus 4port installed without RTV. 

Did you end up ever getting RTV and MPplus 4port working together on the same HDX?

I can confirm that RTV & MPplus 4port are working while both enabled on the same box now. They just can't work AT THE SAME TIME. Not sure if newer firmware helped or not but they are now both working (separately) on 3.1.2
